A single standard including quality indicators associated with NCETM’s three ‘strands’ of effective continuous professional development: broadening and deepening mathematics content knowledge, developing mathematics-specific pedagogy, which includes appreciating how learners engage with mathematics and likely obstacles to progression; embedding effective mathematics pedagogy in practice. 2. A workable registration and submission process 3. Achievement of the Standard for CPD by many of the providers in the initial pilot: [since risen to 130+] 4. Completion of the NCETM Standard ensures provider simultaneously meets TDA CoP

Group activity How can and should the NCETM support PD providers in the changing landscape to provide an equality of opportunity for all schools and teachers? If the NCETM maintains a “Directory of Providers” what might this “look like”? Is it a good idea? (VOTE)
